Questions: Anyone’s baby up in their rib cage yet? How do you help move them?

FTM/STM/TTM+: 4th

Baby is the size of a (an): ear of corn

Team blue/pink/green: blue

Upcoming Appointments: later this week

How are you feeling?: Worn out. Mostly emotionally. My life feels like a lot right now. Physically pretty okay except for this new pain in my rib @alexxajams. I don't think my baby is actually up that high yet, but he is for sure putting pressure and making me really uncomfortable. I am trying to do more stretching and yoga and avoiding sitting for long periods of time. It is helping some.

Questions: When do you all plan to set up the crib etc?

GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? Idk somewhere in the middle. I feel best in the morning, but I struggle to wind down in the evening.

Baby is the size of a (an): grapefruit 

Team blue/pink/green: 💙💙

How are you feeling?: still hanging in there - better than last week though! Pelvic pain and back pain starting to show up though 😕

Rants/Raves: A stranger said "you must be due pretty soon" today... lol, 3 months to go 🤣

Questions: Anyone have a Baby Jogger City Select stroller (double tandem)? Opinions? I have the chance to get one on marketplace for cheap tomorrow, and while I don't really want a tandem, I was thinking it might be handy as a backup?

GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? Neither? Definitely more of a morning person, but I suck at waking up 😅

@alexxajams I'm definitely feeling squished and breathless, but I've found that doing puppy pose/anahatasana and some side stretches makes things feel a bit roomier.

@farm_mama we are starting out using the pack n play in our room, so probably won't set up the crib in what is now the office until closer to when we'll start using it (though maybe we'll set it up over New Years so we don't have to worry about it later).

EDD / Weeks + Days: 6 Feb/ 28+0!!! Third Trimester

FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

Baby is the size of a (an): papaya

Team blue/pink/green: girl

Upcoming Appointments: 28th Nov

How are you feeling?: Pretty good physically; just tired and easily winded. I'm low in iron, so a bit nervous that the supplement my doctor has me on will result in digestive troubles. But maybe it will also help me feel less tired I'm pretty sure I have a mild case of pregnancy-induced separation anxiety. DH left yesterday for 2 weeks overseas, and I was in tears. Definitely will bring it up at my next appointment, but I'm also feeling much better and less nervous today (out of sight out of mind???)

Rants/Raves: Picked up some sewing supplies at a garage sale over the weekend, so I have no more excuses to breaking out the sewing machine and fixing the elastic in a bunch of our cloth diapers. That and dehydrating our apple harvest are my distractions while solo.

GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? Definitely a morning person. I'd even prefer to wake up at 3:30 or 4 to do something than stay up past midnight. (I had an interview last week for a job that was a 4:15am)

Baby is the size of a (an): Cauliflower

Team blue/pink/green: blue

How are you feeling?: The heartburn has fully set in. My hips feel like they're being stretched apart, but my yoga ball has been a Godsend. 

Rants/Raves: How is Thanksgiving only a week away? How am I already TWENTYFIVE weeks pregnant?! It was going so slow and now I feel like it will be here before I know it and I'm not ready lol.

GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? Morning Person, especially while pregnant. I'm lucky to make it to 8:30pm anymore

Rants/Raves: rant: still hitting the Halloween candy hard. Need to get my sweet tooth in check especially with upcoming holidays, yikes. Rave: enjoying the little flutters/kicks finally! Must be the candy 😆

GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? Definitely morning. I'm with @cioccolata16 much rather wake up at 3:30 or 4am than stay up past 9! The world is so quiet in the early morning, love it. My brain is firing on all cylinders in the am so have to take advantage of that.

Baby is the size of a (an): baseball glove

Team blue/pink/green: pink

Upcoming Appointments: not for 2 weeks

How are you feeling?: pretty good. I finally got some braces that are comfortable and have been sleeping much better. My hands are still stiff, my fingers especially which is so weird. I’m ordered a magnesium pain balm to try but I’m open to recommendations if anyone has a cream they like. 

Rants/Raves: rave for my mom flying in last week to keep my kiddos while my husband and I took a weekend off for our anniversary. He duck hunted and I enjoyed the silence and comfort of a lovely air bnb. Today is our actual anniversary and we both forgot about it entirely, oops🤷🏻‍♀️

Questions: natm

GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? I have always been a morning person but after having kids I feel like I stay up late more to get a kid break with my husband. I am still more productive earlier in the day though.
